set (C# Reference)
The set keyword defines an accessor method in a property or indexer that assigns the value of the property or the indexer element. For more information, see Properties (C# Programming Guide), Auto-Implemented Properties (C# Programming Guide), and Indexers (C# Programming Guide).
This is an example of a set accessor for a property named Seconds:
class TimePeriod
{
private double _seconds;
public double Seconds
{
get { return _seconds; }
set { _seconds = value; }
}
}
This is an example of a set accessor in an auto-implemented property:
class TimePeriod2
{
public double Hours { get; set; }
}
